Revolutionary Office Design: OFFICE > ENTROPY by Taylor and Miller
Project's Summary
Office & Entropy: A Unique Design Concept by Taylor and Miller Architecture and Design
Taylor and Miller Architecture and Design recently launched their latest project, the OFFICE & ENTROPY – a revolutionary office space design that operates in two states of being. The design concept is based on the idea that as an office space expands and adds more workforce, there is a certain level of disorder associated with the increased density of people and overlapping tasks. The architectural system was designed to offset this move towards disorder.
Intentional Disordered Design: State 1
In the first state, Taylor and Miller designed and fabricated a set of six basic architectural units, which were different sizes of plywood boxes and associated desk surfaces that would stack and interlock. The deployment of the boxes was intentionally more 'disordered', exposing holes and creating areas of porosity from one area to the next. This design concept was aimed at creating an atmosphere of creativity and innovation, where the workforce could work together in a collaborative and interactive environment.
Categorical Order: State 2
In the second state, the exact same basic set of architectural units were deployed, but in a different manner. In this state, the units were distributed throughout the space very categorically. All small boxes were stacked together, all long boxes were stacked together, etc. Essentially, they were composed in this space to be more 'ordered'. This design concept was aimed at creating an atmosphere of focus and productivity, where the workforce could work independently without any distractions.
Quiet Layering of Space and Privacy
The repetitive and texture screens dividing one workspace from the next provide a quiet layering of space and privacy. The design concept was aimed at addressing the need for privacy and focus in a collaborative environment. The architectural system was designed to provide a balance between creativity and innovation and focus and productivity.
In conclusion, the OFFICE & ENTROPY project by Taylor and Miller Architecture and Design is a unique design concept that aims to provide a balance between creativity and innovation and focus and productivity. The design concept is based on the idea that an office space can operate in two states of being – intentional disordered design and categorical order. The quiet layering of space and privacy provides a balance between the two states, and the design concept is aimed at addressing the need for privacy and focus in a collaborative environment.
